For those curious, it's called a bindle.

There's that, but there's also the realization that, if there's no externally mandated "purpose", then it is up to each of is to determine our own purpose. For some that brings a powerful sense of freedom, but for others, that demands a terrifying level of responsibility. For them it's more comforting to live within that bubble.

First Friday of the month, but not every month. They announce the next ones a few months in advance.

Feels like a good spot to recommend Bandcamp Fridays. On the first Fridays of some months, the site gives all proceeds to the artists for any purchases made that day. And ~~tomorrow's~~today's their next one.

Look, I agree with the first half, but wtf is the point of speculating if she has down syndrome? It's rude at best, ableist at worst. Don't do that.

A community rule to tag the artist in the title would make it possible to filter by keyword. Seems like a pretty reasonable rule to put in place, imo, if only for attribution purposes even.

"You need to cut the fat so we can buy more companies that we will use as ballast just like you."

Like, I get some companies will feel like they don't have a choice if they want to stay open, but man...it really feels like a terrible idea to sell out to these people. They don't care about anything except their own bottom line, and every asset they pick up will be used and discarded with that in mind.

This guy seems to think that what people want from tv is infinite, endless mediocrity. Maybe it's me that's out of touch, but that sounds fucking stupid.

Stories are interesting and engaging when they have purpose and structure, and an ending is part of that structure. Going on an endless "and then..." tangent will leave viewers losing interest fast.

The joke is obvious. Getting it doesn't mean people have to be ok with it.

Blonde haired, blue eyed woman exemplified as having "great ~~genes~~jeans" wasn't a great idea for an ad before the Nazi resurgence. Nowadays, at best, it's extremely tone deaf, and I don't blame people for seeing it as a dog whistle.

That's awful! She'll never get an even roast with that setup.

What a creepy thing to post.
